The use of glass in Caracas is limited by the climate that we have. The constant sunshine and weather limit the use of stained glass and windows. The use of glass is for covering some walls and windows. This material can be used on the entire building like the black Cube or Parque Cristal. Otherwise, the impact on the environment is a warning for the use of glass in Caracas. The Botanic Park receives several radiations from the Black Cube. Other buildings like the Parque Central Twin Towers use the technique of small glass panel that reduce the sunshine impact. Also the principal faces (facades??) that receive high sun (the south west) is covered by concrete, this is a consideration based on the building situation.
